So I’ll keep this short, not because this place hasn’t earned my gratitude but because writing this isn’t all too fun. I’m leaving the server and I’m not coming back. Over the most recent Easter I noticed my 5 year old cousin playing Mineman and I realized that something’s twisted if I’m playing the same game. I love LotC but I cannot stand the platform it is run on and since I do not see that changing in the foreseeable future I will be taking my leave. So I’m hoping that I was able to clean up my bad reputation that I earned during my first year or so on the server with my very successful tenure on the AT. With all that I’d like to say thanks for the memories and I hope to keep in touch with some of you.

 

If you’re interested here’s a bunch of ideas I had for the server but never really did anything with and a few goodbye letters.

 

Ideas:

Hou-Zi:   Reveal hidden contents

 

Hou-Zi:

  Reveal hidden contents

An ancient jade tea-pot that would be worth an astounding amount, shared by the community of hou-zi, that would only be used when discussing with enemies how to settle a disagreement.

  Reveal hidden contents

A relic, that is made of jade, which depicts catlike dragon winding between itself. A reminder of Metzli that most people would ignore or dismiss. The relic would become the basis of a popular symbol among hou-zi that is somewhat taboo but it would signify remembering your roots and where you came from.

7

  Reveal hidden contents

A tapestry among the Hou-Zi of Hou-Shen. It would be held to be incredibly sacred and only owned and protected by the Fei-Zhu.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

An idea among the Hei-Zhu that these 3 beasts resemble what their soul is like and that each Hei-Zhu soul comes from the lineage of one of them. Red resembling strength, blue would be wisdom, green would be leadership.

 

Orc:

  Reveal hidden contents

A dagger of an ancient clan... That's it, it looks dope tho.

  Reveal hidden contents

What I would think the spirit of the void would look like. I think there is potential for a good event line where this spirit reveals itself to the orcs and the orcs have to reconsider how they feel about voidal mages and how exactly they should worship this spirit.

  Reveal hidden contents

A potential mount for a clan, it's not exactly a Lur Wolf and it sure depicts strength, power and wildness.

  Reveal hidden contents

A tiny totemic necklace that would remind an orc of a particular spirit every time it smacks against their chest.

  Reveal hidden contents

An avatar of Vulka.

  Reveal hidden contents

A muyakelg, at one point I'd considered making my orc into one but I ultimately decided against it.

  Reveal hidden contents

What a respectable honorary orc could look like (despite how garbage they usually are).

  Reveal hidden contents

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAL3JXZSzSm8AlZyD3nQdBA

I always thought somebody should give survivalist classes or something of the sort, kind of like the videos on this channel, so that orcs could become fully independent and self sufficient if they got lost or left behind.

 

Halfling:

  Reveal hidden contents

This bird is called a House Martin. My original halfling, Andwise Peregrin, used this as a messenger bird and he gave a similar bird to his children. The goal was that eventually these fuzzy lil aviary friends would be popular among the halflings to deliver messages of tiny text from the wee-folk.

  Reveal hidden contents

An art piece that would make for a good setup in a halfling village. Put the storage burrow (seen on the left) next to the Sheriff's Dpt. (right) so that people would be much less apt to rob from the villages storage for fear of being caught (and becoming the talk of the village).

  Reveal hidden contents

I've held this image for a while now hoping to try and do a Halloween event for the halflings where this dragon-esque creature terrorizes the halflings or makes demands of them.

  Reveal hidden contents

What I imagine a halfling delicacy would look like.

  Reveal hidden contents

Something I've often looked to for ideas about layering burrows, working around water, making roads, etc... It's more helpful than you'd think.

  Reveal hidden contents

Never got to make this pumpkin launcher since I PK'd my aengulic tinker halfling, but maybe somebody will one day.

  Reveal hidden contents

An emblem for the followers of the halfling god... Arugula. This faith has been known for it's extremists and cultists so perhaps this symbol would be terrifying or taboo. 

  Reveal hidden contents

Something I've tried to build a millions times... But @Larry Shortoak could give you an idea of how my builds usually turn out. It'd be a pretty neat build to pull off.

 

Other:

  Reveal hidden contents

Never really had much of an idea for this but it sure does look dope.

  Reveal hidden contents

A brilliant event area that I think would be fantastic in a future map.

  Reveal hidden contents

The idea basically builds itself and I think it could be a wonderful accent for the spookiest areas.

  Reveal hidden contents

Not really an original idea but an event item that is essentially a sentient book that changes it's text to mean a different thing to each character it interacts with.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

A celestial familiar??

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Imagine a spooky ring that can shoot out long and spooky bendy arms... idk if it's very practical but it's a fantasy server so piss off.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 Spooky puppers, edgies get lonely also right? (I think these are a saluki and a pug)

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 One of the best arts of a suit of armor that I've seen and I thoght for a long time that this would be the most badass dreadknight

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 A potential runic gauntlet.. Maybe on an event villain or some one-of-a-time event rewards.

  Reveal hidden contents

I thought at one point that tribal/hunter dwarves would be dope af. Note that this art also reminds me of the 'Beast Hunter' LoL skins line.

  Reveal hidden contents

Another familiar or perhaps a tamable breed of flying creature.

  Reveal hidden contents

One of my more developed ideas revolves around these shark-bears. In my mind these creatures tend to pick off stray axolotyn. The beasts and the fishy men of the sea would often compete for food and territory and the axolotyn would be considered very heroic if they often went and hunted these terrifying creatures.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Aengu-daemonic art, not completely sure what aengul like creature it is but it seems to look like all the other aenguls we've pictures for.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

What I imagine the creature this statue (from Athera) was made to resemble.. Or perhaps the legacy of this creature from Athera lives on as a type of familiar

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Now... This image doesn't quite convey much of an idea unless you are a raving conspiracy theorist but to be brief Bohemian Grove is a large campground where every summer a group of highly influential people (former and future presidents, prominent CEOs, etc..) all men and typically all right winged. They have chants and do mock sacrifices.. whatever. Not the point. The point is that this inspired me to propose a large camp ground area for a future map, with stages and roads and a few lodges or places for characters to set up tents. This area would be claimable for other nations and could serve as a secretive place for people to meet up at. People would know where the area was but it would be hard to find a single person in the land mass of the camp ground unless you had a predetermined meeting place. 

  Reveal hidden contents

A dwarf proudly wearing their carbarum armor. It's a neat lil design, maybe somebody will have some use for it.

  Reveal hidden contents

I always thought that this rare breed of canine could be a type of pet or hunting dog for wood elves. It's long legs give them a very distinguished look, stride and tracks.

 

 

Now onto the goodbye letters, I'll try to avoid the mushy stuff.

Larry (Dale):

  Reveal hidden contents

Dale, you're the best lad I ever met on the server. Words can't describe my appreciation for you so I'll try to convey it in your prime form of communication. 

Leslie:

  Reveal hidden contents

You may just be a dumb Darden slave but we'll still talk you clown so don't worry. We'll become the best NA ARAM players, I swear.

Scout:

  Reveal hidden contents

You're a clown, play a good game and maybe I'll drop in your Discord every now and then. <3 you

Coolio:

  Reveal hidden contents

You're a good kid and Jesus loves you. Remember not to sell your soul for magic like some other despicable people. Play Rupert more often you clown because he was always my favorite kid.

Butter:

  Reveal hidden contents

I can't wait to hear more hours of you talking to your self. Zzzz. Even though you let a good village die I forgive you because you were always my favorite kid.

Hunter:

  Reveal hidden contents

Hi Hunter, I love you but not int that gay way... Even though Mira is the most improper child I could have imagined it's okay because she was always my favorite. Also I need you to make better SC stories, k thx bye.      

Elk:

  Reveal hidden contents

It was weird as **** to meet you on here Matt but I'm glad that you're doing alright. GL w/ finals hombre.

Mason:

  Reveal hidden contents

Mason? More like... Cute boy. Whatever dude, keep Coolio in line. Luv ya

Sky:

  Reveal hidden contents

Another wonderful Aussie. If you need somebody to beat Zindran in Hearthstone or if there's some way I can help you ring me anytime. Don't let staff keep you down. Also Mei > Tracer

KBR:

  Reveal hidden contents

If I can help with the Hou-Zi in anyway ring me up and if not do so anyways so I can see how good you are at Kled. <3 

Heff:

  Reveal hidden contents

Heff, I know you're not too active but I love you anyways. Thank you for introducing me to the greatest playerbase on the server and letting me absolutely ruin it. If you ever need something hmu.

Lego:

  Reveal hidden contents

Mr. Xbox, I hope that I have been able to be of as much help as possible to the AT in the last 7 months and I hope that I have showed just how much a member of the AT team can do if they really put their mind to their work and have a bit of purpose for what they do. I wish you the best of luck with the AT and all of your future endeavors. 

Trav:

  Reveal hidden contents

Trav, years from now I will probably remember this as a shitty Lord of the Rings version of WoW on a garbage platform. I will forget many of the details of what I've seen and done like Reyna but I know I will never forget the crazy German boy who played the swamp obsessed orc named Shreck. You are one of the most fun people I've met on the server, so thanks homie. 

Pie:

  Reveal hidden contents

You're a good Rex and a good AT. Just remember to do more apps than Vaynth and be Alpha at all times and you'll keep doing great. <3

Bahbou:

  Reveal hidden contents

Aight bud, you already know I'm not gonna beat around the bush so here it goes. You really don't know all too much about the halflings but I really want you to do well. You need to talk to people like Prologued about stuff because he simply has experience. Now you might not like his answers all the time or like how he says them but you gotta realize that you simply didn't work your way up into halfling leadership.. You bought it. You just took it over without knowing what all you were doing and now Mells is in a really weird spot. There's not much I'm going to be able to do to help you if I'm not logging on anymore so listen to older halflings and try to work alongside smaller playerbases. Above all things, don't be like how I was. Focus on making playing a halfling fun and then focus on keeping the tradition. Tradition can always come back after you slip up for a good time.. But players who have a bad time on a halfling likely never will. Remember, the halflings are based on Tolkiens hobbits and this is what Tolkien said about the hobbit mayor: So I wish you the best of luck hombre, squash out the impropers.

Wolf:

  Reveal hidden contents

Bud, I've known you for a long time and I know that now you're trying to make a decent name for yourself so you gotta stop tossing on a pink panther skin, arguing with the shamanism experts and referencing back to the time of burke, and lastly talking **** about people when they aren't there to stand up for themselves. If you focus on helping new orcs getting settled in and developing events for the group you'll be in the clear homie. Take care hombre.

Future Halflings:

  Reveal hidden contents

First off you've come to the right place. Next off the way to have fun as a halflings is to do the following: Make RP instead of waiting for it to come to you, make friends with the other halflings, follow the existing culture because without it you're just tiny humans and that's retarded, finally if you see an issue tell people about it and if nothing happens then step up and be the change you want to see.. Like, don't just let issues sit their unsolved. So aside from that enjoy yourself and give the bigguns hell.

Gorkil Clan:

  Reveal hidden contents

First off I want to apologize. I know I didn't really last too long as a Wargoth and my departure is all too sudden but I'd like to think I didn't completely embarrass the group. I'm sure the clan will carry on without me and I hope that the hunting event line can carry on to give the clan a strong core focus.

 Hei-Zhu:

  Reveal hidden contents

Nothing much ever really happened because numbers were never all too fantastic to accomplish much but I sure did have an absolute blast writing culture lore for the group. Take care all of you, don't act like children and keep trying to get the hou-zi to the level of a smaller race like the kha or halflings.

Future AT:

  Reveal hidden contents

If you aren't having a good time on the team then leave. You should have a good number of friends on the team, enjoy doing your work and have some wholesome motivation to keep trying to help new players. Do your best to keep your head down and do what you're asked to and if you have a good idea then take some initiative and try your best to see your idea to fruition. Keep it all going lads, the work you do is more appreciated than you recognize.

 

If what you said is true, then I wouldn't be a Gmod Server Owner, there's JUST AS MANY LITTLE KIDS on that Platform as Minecraft.

Dude, for crying out loud. I am 20 years old, when I first played this game I was like 14. This game has been around in some capacity for nine years. This is OUR GAME. Not some small children's game, they just invaded and stole it if anything.

There's just as many little kids in Garry's Mod. It honestly depends on where you're at in both games.
(Like the little kids love DarkRP, the older peeps love StarWarsRP(Sometimes) and HL2RP)

Finally, you are joining the land of free men! I commend your bravery.

I never really interacted with you as much as I should have Andy, and I regret that, because you're a really cool guy with a lot to say. I remember in high school you'd always play MC before school at PND and I always wanted to get involved with whatever you guys were doing in your LAN worlds, and I wish that I would've kept more in touch after I left Illinois. Add me on SC sometime dude, I'll PM you mine on Skype if you're interested :)
